Swords, Ontario

Swords is a ghost town and former railway point in central Ontario, Canada, in the township of Seguin in the District of Parry Sound.

The company built a general store and three workers homes south of the tracks.

One such business was the Maple Lake Hotel, owned by John and Annie Sword.

Annie would stop and inspect the boots of the lumbermen to ensure that they didn't have hobnails, making them likely to scuff the hotel floor.

A store still stands there to this day but has suffered several break-ins and is in a general state of disrepair.
